NBA Street

NBA Street is based on three-on-three street basketball. Aside from the basic structure of basketball, players try to collect trick points, which are scored through the use of almost every basketball game maneuver such as doing fancy dribble moves, faking out defenders, shot blocking, diving for the ball, and dunking. If a team fills their trick meter, they get to perform a Gamebreaker, which is a special shot that not only adds to their score, but it subtracts an amount from their opponents' score.

The single player mode "City Circuit" involves making a user-created player, touring famous American locations and picking up teammates from NBA rosters along the way.

With the game being based on a street ball style of basketball, EA invited Vancouver-based streetball group The Notic to do motion capture. The most notable member of the group was Joel Haywood, nicknamed "the King Handles".

The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Kevin Toyama of NextGen said of the PlayStation 2 version, "Despite a few small problems, NBA Street delivers a basketball experience even sports game cynics can't help but love." In Japan, where the same console version was ported and published by Electronic Arts Victor on August 23, 2001, followed by the GameCube version on March 22, 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 31 out of 40 for the former, and 30 out of 40 for the latter.

Air Hendrix of GamePro said of the PlayStation 2 version in its August 2001 issue, "When the final buzzer sounds, Street gets serious props for breathing a huge blast of fresh air into what had been Midway's stinky old locker room. Street has staked its claim on the court, easily earning the title of this summer's latest must-have PS2 game." Eight issues later, he said that the GameCube version "is sure to be one of this young system's early stars. If you've already conquered the PS2 version, there's no compelling reason to pound this pavement. But if 'GameCube' is your middle name, NBA Street should be your next game."
